Two familiar faces will be in the ballroom this fall on Dancing With the Stars!
Us Weekly reports that joining Season 35 of the reality dance competition series will be Conner Leavitt, the husband of Season 35 finalist Whitney Leavitt, as well as Sarah Jane Nader, the sister of Season 33 contestant Brooks Nader.

Conner would have big shoes to fill, as Whitney and her pro partner Mark Ballas made it all the way to the semifinals in Season 34 last year. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star parlayed her success on the show into a record-breaking debut in Broadway’s Chicago and will soon star as Sandra Dee in Just in Time.
Conner was frequently spotted in the audience enthusiastically cheering on Whitney every week during her time on the show. He also appeared with her on SLOMW.
Brooks’ stint on DWTS arguably helped her rise in fame, as her chemistry with partner Gleb Savchenko was undeniable. They finished in ninth place but she soon starred in her own Hulu reality series with her family — including Sarah Jane — in which she revealed she and Savchenko were dating the entire time she was on DWTS. They have since split.
Neither Conner, Sarah Jane nor ABC have spoken out about the casting rumor, which is just the latest this week after Us reported on Thursday that Bachelor Nation star Tyler Cameron and Step Up actress Jenna Dewan will also be joining DWTS this fall.
The only confirmed cast members are those who were announced by ABC earlier this summer: Love Island star Maura Higgins, Summer House darling Ciara Miller, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson and Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez.
The rest of the celebrity cast, as well as their pro dancer partners, will be revealed live on Good Morning America on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Speculation is still running rampant among DWTS fans, however, with Polymarket traders even making bets on who they think they’ll see on Season 35. Currently, Love Island USA star Rob Rausch — who also starred on the same season of The Traitors as Higgins — has a 50% chance of being cast. SLOWMW star Miranda McWhorter has a 45% chance of being cast, according ot Polymarket, while Ashtin Earle — the sister of Season 35 finalist Alix Earle — has 50% odds.
